I was searching for a gymnastics gym for my inexperienced 10yr old. After calling Irving gymnastics they offered a trial and directed me to their website. When I visited the website, the tumbling class was full, I called back and the gym manager opened up a spot so I could register her for a trial which was sweet. The gym is open with clear view of my child which I love and clean!
The one who sold us was the tumbling instructor, he was great and I felt they covered a great deal in just that one class. It was obvious she was behind the other girls but he made her comfortable instead of odd ball out, he watched her form and helped make corrections, encouraged her and the others and was very present and attentive despite him recovering from a personal injury. The other girls were very welcoming and also tried to help when my daughter was confused about something. Teamwork was very apparent. I was pleased with her trial and her coach and my daughter was super happy and excited and left with hopes I would sign her up there. (Which I did)
Overall I liked the place, the only thing that could be improved was our greeting, when we walked in for the first time, no one was at the front desk and we stood there for a while before sitting waiting for someone to come. The next classes were starting and girls were walking in who knew what to do and still no one acknowledged us despite making eye contact with some of the staff, one who turned out to be the manager as I later found out. Finally I had to go to the floor and ask one of the staff members what to do or where she was supposed to go and she said they all stretch together and immediately included her and then later directed her to her class. This is why I rated 4 stars, but other than that it was great, I am glad we didn't just walk out and the happiness on my daughters face was worth the wait. read more
